Hi all Jet users, i got a chance to play with this jet for a day! thanx to my friend. Wrote a 2 pages review here..


All in all, im gonna get it soon! the cheapest I found was RM1770 in low yat plaza. Earlier post i saw ppl saying that a shop selling 1699 with 4GB microSD, where is the shop? it's a damn good deal if it was FMG/Brightstar one la. biggrin.gif

here's what ryuzaki_L PMed me about the shop location:
i've been using/carrying it. very very impressive. luv the features, THE GORGEOUS screen, and slim/compact design.

the design was THE deciding factor (for me). It's small, slim, and compact. MUCH MUCH BETTER than Nokia 5800 XM.

hey, you got this at 1699 too? with 4gb microSd card? is it under FMG or Brightstar?

i didnt get from the same shop as mnetioned by ryuzaki_L. The shop that i bought got a SAMSUNG lightbox; but also nearby the "Bluetooth" shop.

price is RM1,700. no other xtras. Full package/accessories.

my actual price is RM1,800 (inclusive of merchant interest) because i pay via credit card + 12mth 0% installment.

Not sure if other shops do that, but i chose this shop cuz of 0% installment service wink.gif
warranty sticker is by Brightstar, but i can go to the nearby Samsung sevice centre for support/warranty.
p/s: personally, i like Jet compared to iPhone. Jet's size is much better to hold/carry than iPhone (much wider). FEatures wise, it meets my need and day-to-day internet 3G usage (surfing, twitter, facebook, sms, photos, videos, etc.)

the photos and videos are gorgeous smile.gif
*
So, that means you get cheaper price by paying via credit card and installment 12 months?

iPhone is just a simply overpriced phone with much marketing hype created by Apple.

@techmostwanted, not cheaper. A bit more expensive because the shop need to charge extra "merchant charges" for credit  card transaction.

for me, phone price is RM1,700. The extra charge is RM100. Total billed: RM1,800 is billed thru Maybank's 0% interst installment payment.

Hence, my monthly repayment only RM150 for 12mths. Which for me, is still "cheaper" than payng one lump sum of RM1,700 cash wink.gif

@ilovelyn/snowcrash: most shops have actual units hidden. Until you show interest to buy or ask for a working unit, they only let you see the dummy unit,

I saw/hold the dummy unit first at Sunway Pyramid because i was curious to know the look-n-feel-n-weight of the unit.

hmmm..last week a sales person from MTA a booth near by Bluetooth booth said to me 1699 with 4gb card...maybe the price varies week by week.
btw...for those who flashed to s8000 firmware...just wondering if it does not have chinese text input in s8000 firware,does it able to read chinese text?thanks.

hmmm, i planning to get one in christmas time. This 1699 price is ap or original? only FMG and brightstar are the original distributor for samsung.

Went to Samsung Lowyatt yesterday. As mentioned by the salesman, for Samsung phone, there is no AP set. The diff is between FMG and Brightstar. If the guaratee card is from FMG, means that u can go to anywhere Samsung Service Center in Malaysia. Brightstar guaranteed is only covered KL area only. (But i`m not is correct or not..hehehe)

The price at Samsung Lowyatt is RM1799. if u use credit card is 1800. Plus another RM1.

Atlast i got to hold the JET..vERY impressive!!! wub.gif
*
just to correct u, FMG and brightstar is covered in all Samsung service center. When samsung brings in phones to our country, they distribute it in 2 channels, and thats FMG and Brightstar.

@danny_boy #124 :

the software showed in the video is different from Samsung LBS software(navigation software) installed in my JET..

actually any service provider can add nav software in JET bcos it has built in GPS..maxis, celcom or digi dont have any nav software(from what i know), but for example, 02 UK provide their own navigation software for JET*

*extra info..

mine brightstar, but i forgot to mail back the Samsung Electronics Warranty within the 1st 7 days after i bought this phone...huhu..
*
hmm...i dont think u need to mail it, if im not mistaken u only need to pass it to any service center. Or if u didn, u still covered by the warranty in all service center. not really sure, but my friend owns a samsung innov8, and he never mail the card at all, but still able to claim warranty.

There are a few drawbacks on this phone and I'm starting to think of getting rid of it unless there's a possibility that Samsung will fix it.

Drawbacks:
1. No fully functional GPS
2. No SMS threading
3. Only able to store 500 sms only.
4. Unable to search for particular song in media player. (Have to scroll manually. If you have 1000+ songs and would like to go to a song starting with "Y", good luck.)
*
hmm..hope samsung will fixed at least half of the problems here in new firmware. Im still considering between Jet and ARena where both have almost similiar functions at almost same price.

Hi,
Can u please explain further on the point no.2 (No SMS threading)..

So if JET having drawback..should we said Nokia 5800 Express is better?
*
actually, each phones got its drawbacks, just a matter of the overall package only. like the Jet, it was overall very nice,just some minor drawbacks here n there.

But I still look forward for Samsung engineers to improve the firmware, if everything goes well, expect me to join this Jet club end of this year biggrin.gif. There is a discussion and feature request in facebook , have a look and join to contribute.

just get a jet today. but very sad finding on the web, no application for it.,, is this so call iphone killer ?

so sad it is not window mobile... very sad. bough it at RM 1599 with 2GB card, bough it at klang parade.


Added on August 16, 2009, 9:45 pmbut i think, 800mhz and 512mb ram and 1.5gb uses space is good tobe RM 1599

but no application update.. nothing to do...so boring.. no challenging at all. and who say no lag, when loading a lot graphic on the web page, u try touch moving the page, then that is lag lag lag..
*
RM1599? Are u buying AP or original? BTW, Jet doesnt have that massive RAM. We dont know the exact amount of ram, but it doesnt have 512MB for sure.

other than stated above,so far both of them don't have gps navigation that does not need internet connection and both photo browsing is slow. The price of LG is cheaper and has built in 8gb whereas jet is about rm100 more expensive and with only 2gb.

hope it helps... biggrin.gif
PS:i never owned both of this phone,points above are summary of other forums and this forums that i remember.

But the europe version one is working right? i mean Jet.

hmm...cant find any links there, but since it was based on html, javascript...should be easy to do one simple widget. BTW, it only meant for a widget only right? so, more complex applications were not possible?
